I remember when I was in the eighth grade, thinking about how I could defy the speed of light. Why not take scissors as long as the distance between the Earth and the sun and attempt to close them. The arc that would be produced would exceed the speed of light. I’m sure most preadolescents interested in science contemplated this. Even if you could produce a material, that could take such a force the amount of energy capable of swinging the arms would probably exceed the output of the sun. After that exercise, I went back to thinking about why I just got a D on my algebra test.
